Hey everyone,
I am a freshman on team 5000, so I don’t fully know the rules of everything. I was wondering if during the manual drive period if we were aloud to have. some auto drive, for instance having the robot auto center and pick up a block or cone using a camera.

I am glad to hear you are thinking about building a robot and not a complicated RC car.

For sure! Many teams utilize several auto features throughout teleop. A major part of last year’s game was auto targeting to the hub with the retroreflective tape. Definitely try to make your drivers job easier by having auto features.
